Default RE: 3D Hell Raiser

So far, in about 8 flights, I've broken the fuse in half at the back of the canopy, in front of the h. stab, at the front of the canopy, and at the front of the wing. My long learning process has taught me these things:

1. Do not try to land in grass! Pavement is a must.

2. 3 cells only!

3. You have to land it like a warbird. Keep at half throttle and fly it to the ground. No harrier landings here! And no, CG is not a factor here. I've moved it all over the place.

4. Keep lots of 5 minute epoxy and strapping tape on hand.

5. Stick with a Shocky or such if you really want to fly hard and low.

These are just my opinions, and they could be a result of the level of my building or flying abilities, but for someone with the same level, this plane is not for you.
